Kate Jayden runs a marathon every day for 106 days despite suffering a fracture midway through
A woman has become a world record holder after running a marathon every day for 106 days - despite suffering a broken knee.
Kate Jayden, from Derbyshire, finished her final run on 15 April and her achievement has now been verified by Guinness World Records. The 35-year-old said a recent MRI scan discovered she completed most of the challenge with a fractured knee.Ms Jayden, from Hartington, told the BBC she initially planned to run the 26.2-mile distance 100 times to raise money for charity.
But when her challenge started attracting attention she decided to submit a world record application as well.Image source,"I started running as I was recovering from an eating disorder and it kind of saved me and taught me to value my body," she said.On Day 46 Ms Jayden found she was struggling to bear her weight and thought she had most likely developed an injury.In May, a couple of weeks after finishing, a scan revealed she had a fractured knee.
"The reality is I have to take it that I won't be able to run again - if I do then it will be out of the ordinary."But if you could have planned it to be, it was an excellent way to go out," she said.She said while she might not be able to run she was setting her sights on cycling in the future.
